There is a trick! You first need to left click the magnet link, this will bring a modal vpn ad with (iirc) a "continue without vpn" button. That button is the actual magnet link

Lol I was wondering whether there was an actual intended way through. It still deters new users way too much though. What are they thinking

Yeah it's pretty shit. My guess is torrent sites lost a ton of traffic from API users (stremio, kodi etc...) so they have to squeeze harder on those remaining page views.

These websites use clickstealing malware ads. Use Ublock origin.

But are you using uBlock origin? Try it on mobile

I am using a stock tor browser from playstore.

Confirmed issue, just gave it a test.

Adding the uBlock Origin extension to Tor Browser will resolve it and make the links proper again.

It's working fine here. Are you sure you didn't get a fake version of the site?
